The end boss won't be Trump. I dont mean to minimize the damage he's done, but in the end he's a useful idiot. The work horse that is plowing through systems of protections to plant the seeds of whatever comes after. The bull in the china shop, or even just a developer as he's always been. He's the middle man in the story that is America's shift and collapse/reformation.
He says and does things to enrich himself and his family but he wont be the power behind the throne.
I cant say that I dont hate him, but he's just one piece of the machine at work here. He doesn't have the skills or the strength to be a true dictator. He's the tip of the spear that his supporters are using to kill America.
I would be more worried about who will take over when he's gone, or who's working behind the scenes. It's not one person yet, or at least, history hasn't revealed who that one person is.
What he is, is a demonstration. Proof that these things can be done with minimal pushback. And a lightening rod for our ire.
But it will get worse, and it wont be a Trump dynasty.
